There’s a lot of cloud making its way across the north as multiple tropical storms continue to flare up. The trough in the south is producing plenty of cloud but little rain. Eastern Australia continues is extremely long hot run. The trough remains stalled but will help flare up a few showers and storms, mostly on on near the ranges. This activity will increase as we move towards the weekend. Remaining hot and mostly sunny with north-west to north-east winds.

The satellite shows there’s a lot of cloud making its way across the north, as multiple tropical storms continue to flare up. The trough in the south is producing plenty of cloud but little rain. Eastern Australia continues its extremely long hot run. Another scorcher is on the way with afternoon sea-breezes fanning the coastal fringe. This trend will continue over the next few days.

Some swell is going to hang in there for the weekend and along the North Coast into southern QLD. The winds will be out of the south-east, so the point breaks will still be happening, especially in the morning leading up to the high tide. South of Seals, the winds will be out of the north-east so you’ll have to hit the northern corners. Also get the morning session in before those winds get too strong.

Eastern Australia is in for an extremely long, hot run. Inland temperatures will consistently hit the high 30s and low 40s for the next 5 days. The coast will enjoy constant onshore easterly winds helping to cap off temps around 30 degrees.

There’s a lot of cloud making its way across WA as the remnants of Ex-Cyclone Joyce continue to dump heavy falls there. The low over the Tasman is still generating cloud which is affecting parts of the east coast. The biggest low of the year in the Tasman is still generating plenty of swell. The southerly winds will keep temperatures down for another day but they will begin to ease from tomorrow along with the monster swell. Mostly sunny skies will settle in as the heat gets ready to return.

The front has cleared in the east giving us an Autumn-like break from the heat this summer. The biggest low of the year of the Tasman is generating plenty of swell. The southerly winds will keep temperatures down for another day. The occasional shower will skim quickly along the coastal fringe as the southerly winds remain quite strong, all fine inland.

There’s a lot of cloud making its way across WA and SA. Cyclone Joyce is helping to make for a spectacular satellite image as the cloud streaming east from the system links up with the cold front headed for the South-East. Another hot day is on the way as the northerly air flow kicks in harder helping temperatures to soar. The approaching front will move through on Saturday night making for a cooler start to the new week. Hot and windy with afternoon storms ahead of a cool southerly change dropping temperatures on Sunday.

More summer waves are on the way meaning that the swell is small and generally wind affected. You have to pick the tide, stay away from the high. Wave magnet breaks, such as rock shelves and reef breaks. The southerly on Sunday should improve the swell slightly but quality will remain poor.

Quite a lot of cloud passing over the Central Coast and Greater Hunter region, dropping temperatures along the coast. Northern New South Wales and inland to the north-west is still bearing the brunt of the heat.

Another extremely hot day is on the way as the weak change moves in across southern NSW triggering rain and storms. Some of that storm activity will affect the Greater Hunter region and the southern areas of the north-west around Tamworth to the New England ranges tomorrow afternoon and into the evening. So more 40 degree max temps widespread inland. Afternoon storms developing for the Greater Hunter, southern areas of the north-west around Tamworth and the adjacent New England ranges.
